Guidelines for content and naming

Page naming

You can name your page anything, as long as it does not conflict with another existing page.

If there is a page title collision, you must add your scope name in parentheses of the title and add your page to the disambiguation page (normally at the original name). If a disambiguation page does not exist, please create one with the general format of:

There are several versions of (page name) in different scopes:
* (page in scope A)
* (page in scope B)
* ...

For example, Earth is present in several scopes and therefore requires the colliding pages to have their scope in parentheses. (Like Earth (Universe 6E) and Earth (Borealis Universe).)

Category naming

For content categories such as a category for species or planets, there must be at least a significant amount of pages (around 10) under that category.

For naming scope categories:

If you have seperate settings, the general format for naming scope categories is the following:

Scope: (scope name)

Scope: (scope name) - (scope setting)
Setting: (scope setting) - (subcategory)
Setting: (scope setting) - (subcategory) - (...)

If you have no seperate settings, the general format for naming scope categories is the following:

Scope: (scope name)

Scope: (scope name) - (subcategory)
Scope: (scope name) - (subcategory) - (...)

Content categorization

If you create a page, upload a file, or create a template, it is recommended to add an author category. Don't worry about this too much; if you don't, it'll be added for you.

The general naming of the categories is the following:

Pages

Author: (author name)

Uploaded files

Files: (primary file user)

Templates

Templates: (author name)
